Stormfury glances to Lynxdapple. “Both times when I woke him up it was much harder to wake him up than it should have been. It wasn’t natural. Maybe he was just oversleeping, but no cat is that hard to wake up, especially if they’re used to getting up as early as Cedarstorm is.”

Maybe he was just oversleeping, but no cat is that hard to wake up, especially if they’re used to getting up as early as Cedarstorm is.” Lynxdapple blinked in thought, glancing at Ashrock and Cedarstorm, his blue eyes suddenly conflicted as he realized that indeed was strange. Even if unable to wake up early, the commotion of camp should have woken Cedarstorm far earlier. Not even Smokestorm slept that easily. “I know my mentor.” Cardinalblaze urged, pressing close to Cloudflight as he barked. “He never once missed a morning session, no matter how stressful things got. And not once would he ever willingly jeopardize his rank amd duty like this. Something more is going on and I believe Stormfury’s claim!”

Coalpaw’s eyes flickered between the two rouges. The ginger tabby tom gave a light glint of warning. “Second chance, kit. Give my friend and I that prey you got there and you won’t get shredded.”
Coalpaw looked wide eyed at them, eyes flickering to the tom’s companion, in a tiny reach of hope that they would dissuade their friend. He tucked near the prey, trying to remember his battle moves but finding himself mixed up and unsure.

"I've already eaten." Ashrock looked Stormfury in the eye. "There's no need for me to eat anymore. Cedarstorm on the other paw, hasn't." He narrowed his eyes when Talltalon spoke up, tail lashing behind him. "Look, Talltalon, if I hadn't sent those patrols out, they wouldn't have gone out at all! Then what would the other Clans think about us? we might as well be asking Swiftstar to come in and attack us because we're harboring this turn-tail!" He lashed his tail toward Stormfury. "If it had been left up to Cedarstorm, none of the borders would've been marked and no prey would've been caught!" He looked over at Oakstalk. "All of you are questioning my honor with these frog-brained accusations! I have only done what is best for the Clan! You would seriously take the word of some timid little wind-paw than me?"
"Calm down, everyone!" Cedarstorm stepped forward, his fur ruffled by the commotion, but as the Clan deputy, he had to get a hold of the situation. He glanced over at Talltalon and Ashrock. "There's no need for harsh words and insults, we're all clanmates here." He flicked his ear, looking at Stormfury. "I can't believe the claims that you're making about Ashrock. I slept in and that's my mistake." He looked at the cats that had gathered around. "I won't let it happen again." With a heavy sigh he glanced back at Ashrock before speaking to Stormfury again. "Yet, as a Clanmate, your voice deserves to be heard. If you think Ashrock is planting poppy seeds in prey, then how could he possibly do it without anyone noticing?"

Shortcloud’s fur bristled as she approached the commotion. “I don’t believe Ashrock for a second. He’s too far in over his head.” She growled to nobody in particular, adding her opinion.
Cinderspeck watched from afar, not wanting to get involved.

Stormfury blinked at Cedarstorm. He hadn’t thought this out yet. He thought back to the many days he had spent with Eclipsesky in the medicine cats den before speaking. “Back when I was a member of WindClan, I spent a lot of time with Eclipsesky. We were good friends and I watched him work often. Poppy seeds come in a small pod, one that can be easily hidden in the fur of longer cats. Before I came over here, Ashrock was grooming his chest before prodding with the prey. I can’t say for certain, but if I had to guess he could be carrying the pod out in his chest fur.” He turned to Ashrock as he spoke, glancing the cat up and down. WindClan cats typically had too short of fur to pull something like this off....but with Ashrock it seemed plausible.

Talltalon bared his teeth at Ashrock, pelt bristled with suspicion and anger.
Finally, Coalpaw stood his ground and shook his head. The queens and kits needed this prey, and he wouldn’t ever let rouges push him around. He ignored his fear and hissed. “No! Leave me and my prey alone!”
With a deep hiss, the ginger tabby lunged at the apprentice, swatting a clawed paw at his muzzle. Coalpaw gave a shout and fell back, pain stinging up his face. He gave a battle cry and shoved back, biting hard towards the rouge’s shoulder. At least, he tried to. The rouge was skinny, but he was fast and vicious, dodging Coalpaw’s strong bite and clawing at the black tom’s shoulders.

Cedarstorm's doubt was clear on his face as he looked back at Stormfury, but he shook his head and looked to his brother. "Are you hiding a poppy pod, Ashrock?"
"This is ridiculous! Some mashed together theory by a no good rabbit-chaser!" Ashrock lashed his tail, looking right back at Cedarstorm. "Do you really think I would do something like this to you?"
"Perhaps not," Cliffheart looked at his former apprentice. "But as deputy, Cedarstorm needs to hear every clan member out, and not just you, Ashrock."

Stormfury flicked his tail. “Alright then, if you didn’t do it, prove it.” He remained calm, especially since the entire clan was watching him.
Cloudscar looked at his son, a mixture of pride and fear running though him. If Stormfury was wrong it could cost him his place in the clan.

Coalpaw cried in pain as swipe after slash tore into his swirled pelt. The prey was long lost and the rouge was now hurting him out of spite. His battle moves were swats and untrained strikes, and he felt a wave of fear. But he refused to cry or beg, falling to the ground with a yelp as the rouge growled at him. “I warned you! Idiot kit!” The ginger tabby cursed, moving to take the dropped prey with a sneer of victory.
Blood splattered the pure white snow, Coalpaw giving hitched breaths as pain laced his entire body. He held a defiant glare, up until the rouge was gone, when his bravery fell and he sniffled weakly in the snow.

Ashrock flicked his tail back and forth, narrow eyes hardening on Stormfury. "I won't amuse your wild accusations, rabbit-chaser."

Stormfury laughed. “Of course you won’t. Because you know I’m right.”
Sandflower finally spoke up. “Just do it Ashrock. If it’ll prove your innocent, it’ll save us all time.”

“Yeah! What’s the big problem, Ashrock?” Talltalon mused smoothly and darkly.
Lynxdapple watched silently, Viperpool looking angry that Ashrock was being accused like this.
Goldberry’s eyes looked around as he overlooked the commotion. He saw Honeypaw looking around frantically and angrily. Moving to speak with his son, the golden apprentice whispered his stress to his father. Goldberry looked up sharply. Where was Coalpaw?

Ashrock flicked his ear, gritting his teeth at the insistence of his clanmates. He licked his chest a few times, trying to keep the pod covered while he exposed other places of his long fur. Cedarstorm eventually rolled his eyes, tail tapping in betrayal of his anxiousness about the conversation in the camp. He shoved Ashrock, swiping his paw down his brother's chest just to feel for anything underneath, his action caused Ashrock to stumble and the poppy pod he had hidden in fur to fall out and onto the ground. Ashrock's ears immediately fell back.
Cedarstorm stared at the pod on the ground as if Ashrock had just clawed him across the face. "You..." The deputy stepped back, staring at his brother as if he didn't even recognize him. "Ashrock..."

Stormfury’s eyes narrowed in silent satisfaction. He wouldn’t rub in his victory now, the rest of the clan would take care of that.
Sandflower gasped. “Traitor!” She yowled “you’ve been calling Stormfury a traitor but you’re no better than him!”
Hollypaw and Oakpaw gasped simultaneously.
Cloudscar let out a sigh of relief, glad Stormfury was right.

Lynxdapple sprang back with wide eyes, and Viperpool gasped in horror. He gazed in disbelief. Who...who could fo that?
Honeypaw stared at Ashrock, a snarl on his lips. First Coalpaw and now this?!

"Oh please!" Ashrock rolled his eyes at everyone exasperation. He lashed his tail. "I was only doing what's best for the Clan! We all know Northstar was in the wrong choosing Cedarstorm to be her deputy! She chose him because he strives to be a Closesky copycat! He doesn't even want the position! In those few days that I was sending out the patrols, the Clan has been better off!"
Houndthroat twitched his whiskers in light amusement.
Cedarstorm flattened his ears, but was too stunned by Ashrock's betrayal to say anything.

Stormfury narrowed his eyes, but remained silent.
“I don’t think that was necessary.” Cloudscar said evenly. “Who Northstar picks as deputy is her decision. The Clan leader’s word is law, and in doing this you broke the warrior code.”

Dustrose's eyes widened as the poppy pod was revealed. "Yo-you traitor!" She yowled, mostly furious about being wrong in her accusation. "You're worse then that WindClan cat!"

“Wait!” Goldberry shouted suddenly, his voice booming and concerned. He was surprised at Ashrock’s actions, but something else dragged at his mind. Ashrock was here, Coalpaw was not. Coalpaw hadn’t been here for a while.
“Ashrock.” Goldberry mewed tersely, looking at his clanmates as he swallowed. “Where is my son? Honeypaw tells me he hasn’t come back to camp. Did you send him out?” He breathed tightly.

Stonesong stayed quiet. This wasn't good. She looked at Ashrock and shook her head lightly. Now he would never be deputy.
Oakstalk looked surprised as the poppy pod fell out. Now this was unexpected for sure. "I can't believe it." He explained. "I never expected Ashrock to drug his own brother."

"Watch your tongue!" Ashrock bared his teeth at Dustrose. "I'm no traitor to ShadowClan! Ever since Cedarstorm became deputy, the Clan has been weaker! You all saw him at the gathering! He was a frog in a lizard line! The other Clans see weakness in him and therefore weakness in the rest of us!" He lashed his tail and looked at Cloudscar. "I mean no disrespect, but Northstar is old. She's made mistakes before, time and time again with that one." He motioned rudely toward Goldberry before shaking his head. "And no, I didn't send Coalpaw out, he should be doing his chores."

Ratmask snorted in agreement with Oakstalk. "I didn't think he'd ever be clever enough to come up with a plot like that."

Goldberry tensed for a moment, but let the jibe pass him, more worried about his son. “Ashrock. He’s not in camp. Honeypaw can’t find him anywhere.” The tom looked worried suddenly. Coalpaw never snuck out. Honeypaw glared darkly at Ashrock, a suspicion and realization in his eyes.

Ashrock sighed in annoyance. This was a convenient time for Coalpaw to go running off. "Then we better go find him."
"No." Cedarstorm flattened his ears, looking firmly at his brother. "You're not leaving camp, Cloudscar and Stormfury are going to keep an eye on you." The deputy looked to Goldberry. "Take Nightfall, Honeypaw, and Oakstalk and go find Coalpaw."
